It started days after the Citizenship Amendment Act became law. Opposition saw an opportunity to stoke fears in the hearts off the minorities.
1n Seelampur & Jafrabad have been the epicentre of riots since December – only one community was doing the attacking. This thread collates all those old tweets from mid December 2019. DONT give me this crap it started 3 days back. Meanwhile the Supreme Court was sleeping. https://t.co/gsDPj026jh

On February 20th, flag marches were conducted but the reality is that the Police was afraid of entering some places…
2n On the 20th flag marches were conducted …. this was no peaceful place… people are just making this out as violence out of the blue. They want to suppress the fact that it has been a continuum of violence by ONE SINGLE COMMUNITY since December https://t.co/2NwKDW8OG9

The first series of experiments were conducted at the Jamia Millia university. Most caught in the library videos were not students.
3n 27th December things again escalated- remember this is all when Jamia blew up on 17th December and Seelampur was used as an “east of the Urals” safe zone to use a sovietism. Jamia was crushed so they started pretending to be peaceful at #ShaheenBaghhttps://t.co/TfHueNNxSS

Note that Jafrabad, Seelampur did not see much of a police response in the initial days, even though it was festering.
4n since full force hadn’t been used at Seelampur/Jafrabad and that area, things continued to fester. Note the moment drones were up in the air violence receded. The moment drones were brought down, violence increased https://t.co/UJY2MdbbCd

Jafrabad allegedly has a majority of illegals residing there.
5n note Seelampur to Jafrabad is one ugly almost contiguous slum, known for crime. #chronologysamajhiye pic.twitter.com/LBjDjdPmSH

It is important in the context of the murder of an Intelligence Bureau person to note what happened on December 27th in Seelampur.
6n and ooops guess what on the 27th December 5 terrorists of Islamic State #ISIS were picked up for plotting terror attacks on major political leaders. Understand this #Seelampur #Jafrabadprotest is a continuum of high crime, jihad & outright terrorismhttps://t.co/88gG5wuCmb

The playbook from Shaheen Bagh, of preventing traffic from moving on a National Highway played out in Seelampur and Jafrabad.
7n next to give you and understanding of why a second community joined the violence yesterday, look at this map marking Seelampur green, Jafrabad/Maujpur blue & Ashok Nagar in red. These terror hives were blocking some of the main east-west arterials & has created economic chaos pic.twitter.com/c8Xo11qLV2

While loud speeches were being made in Shaheen Bagh about not showing papers, one needed papers to enter the Bagh!
8n UNDERSTAND: “retaliation” has come after 70 days of siege & blockade of the hindus of the area by a certain other community. The police stood by and did NOTHING & the liberal press was mum on this virtual “liberated zone”. Something had to give https://t.co/7PEa9cLvpO

Here is why drones were used to monitor sensitive areas…
9n check DRONE footage from 18/12. Why drones? As @swati_gs said “you have no chance of getting between Muslim mobs ALIVE”. Note: the preponderance of violence, is perpetrated by one community but videographers can ONLY get in on the hindu side. https://t.co/HJHUESeodp

10n local AAP councillor Tahir Hussain. Turns out his house on the left is being used as an armoury and fort to bombard people with petrol bombs pic.twitter.com/V40D0bFs3s

11n turns out that it is Hussain & his men who are alleged to have dragged young IB officer Ankit Sharma to be killed. Apparently 3 others were mutilated and killed https://t.co/9V3UH9PgBy

12n crowd of a “certain community” pelts an @ndtv journo as soon as cameras are turned on. The channel currently claiming a “brave expose” going amidst Hindu protestors, seems unwilling to exercise the same bravery with this other community & cavespic.twitter.com/3BnI2wlqY9
— Abhijit Iyer-Mitra (@Iyervval) February 26, 2020
13n following up on tweets 10 & 11 in this sequence, another AAP councillor has come out in support of his friend Tahir Hussain and called the dead IB officer a “Thulla” who deserved the death he got. https://t.co/HFkX6F8z7r

That the planners would go to any extent, even to fill impressionable minds with lies is evident…
14n schools burnt – anti CAA graffiti on the walls, guess who? Note this is done deliberately to destroy/ delay any future these kids would have – its trying to erode the employability of a whole generation of kids https://t.co/nyFOwRjbvk https://t.co/p7XLrhJU1d

15n in Tahir Hussain’s house (the man believed to have killed Ankit Sharma) are found the remains of a minor girls burnt clothes. The worst is fearedpic.twitter.com/fJYWJxlOXr

In conclusion
Many videos showing the hatred and venom spewed on Hindus. Where did these troublemakers come from? Locals say they do not belong here…
I’m retweeting these images minus the addresses – Cuz the scumbags are mass reporting & don’t want out. It’s important that factually people know the exact statistics 7 Hindus dead & 9 muslims. In a 70%+ muslim neighbourhood this shows a disproportionate number of Hindu deaths pic.twitter.com/XZIm93qoFM
